"Bithu!?"

She stopped on her tracks after hearing him. After three years. She wished to hear him ,but now it was too late. She turned around to see him standing in front of her with surprise. Even she was surprised. She didn't expect him to be here not by a mere chance.

"Were you too busy to come meet your commerce tutor or were you oblivious to the fact that i was here?" ,he asked taking her to a hug.

"The latter. Because i just woke up and couldn't take time to know who all were present here. And for you information you were not my tutor."

"I was. The best tutor you could get. I helped to ace in commerce,if you forgot.", He said raising his imaginary collar.

"Ok, shut up.Let's not go into your amazing teaching skills.It's been three years already. Right?"

"Right, took so long to meet you again, and how's life? Family?",

"Life's good. Even fam. Even i.., Wait, why are you here?", Ishani was obviously oblivious of the reason of his presence, she even didn't mind asking him about it cause of the shock of his arrival.

"My cousin, Kaushik's wedding is happening here." He said and his eyes moved into the bouquet in her hand,"These are tulips right. Do you need them? You know i am obsessed with these."

"No, i was about to dump these.take them if you want."

"Thanks", he picked the flowers, "and Why are you here? or wait. I'll guess." He breathed. "You took up event planning like you wished in your school days. Am i right?",he raised his eyebrows.

"Yes you're right. I am the planner of this wedding", she stopped and looked down not facing him," as well as the bride's sister." His smile turned to a frown. Memories flooded his eyes. "Diya?", He whispered.

"Yeah, she's getting married."

"Oh! I didn't know. But I knew the bride's name was Diya. The world's so small . And technically she's my sister in law now. Girlfriend turns sister in law. How crazy!?"

She replied with a nod. She knew a part of his heart is broken. It hurt her to see him all dull now. His smile. That had vanished.

"Life's crazy." He laughed at his own destiny. She could do nothing but nod. He was right. Life's crazy. Hers is the craziest.

"Is she fine?", He asked with a poker face.

"Hmm, i guess she is.", She couldn't just tell that Diya is perfectly fine and had moved on ,and is eagerly waiting to be a Mrs. She knew it will break him more.

"Didn't know three years could bring in a lot of changes? What feelings stay for over two years anyway? Nothing stays forever."

"Feelings never change with time Dev. It's the people who change, not their thoughts or emotions. Time changes people, situations change, relationships change. But feelings and emotions stay intact. Trust me i know better."

"Did i just turn you all philosophical?", Dev stood confused.

"Sorry, I have to go. Quite busy.", Ishani wanted to leave, she can't stay there any longer controlling herself.

"Ok, bye. Catch you later.", He left. He just left leaving Ishaani in a pool of thoughts.

Who was at fault then. Was it Dev? Was it Diya? Or was it herself? She knew it was late, but what if it was the other way around. Would they all be happy now? She hid her feelings fearing her sister. She loved and cared for her sister more than her mere feelings. She didn't want to be selfish. But was that decision wrong. The person for whom she controlled her feelings doesn't want him now. She doesn't love him anymore. Ishani didn't know why did they broke up. But she knew it was not a mutual one.

She walked to their room, got in and locked the door. Diya was sitting in front of the mirror trying on her jewelry. The smile on her face, Ishaani couldn't help but smile. No matter what she loved her.

Her mind and heart argued. Should she tell her? Or hide it? She will know about it anyway.

"He's here.", She blurted out.

"Who's here?", Diya asked trying on the choker.

"Dev!"
